Abstract

An assay for biotinidase using biocytin, the natural substrate, is described. The fluorometric procedure uses 1,2-diacetylbenzene which reacts selectively with lysine allowing its direct determination in mixture with biocytin. We have examined the applicability of the assay using human serum biotinidase.
